photo essay: Fisherman’s Bay Garden – A Treasure Trove of Ideas (Karen Chapman/Le Jardinet) Another lovely garden (in New Zealand) to virtually visit and perhaps find inspiration from. Key ideas she illustrates are “scale & repetition,” “naturalistic & practical,” and “adding softness & punctuation.” Also a few photo tips.
short essay: Bread: Doomscroll less, eat more gluten (Rosecrans Baldwin/Meditations in an Emergency) A few thoughts on bread and life.
photos: The 20 Best Interdimensional Portals I Have Photographed On Walks In The British Countryside (Tom Cox) “Yes I’m sure taking loads of drugs must be great but what is also quite exciting is going for a walk in remote woodland and stumbling across a lone inexplicable brutalist pillar.” I’m quite partial to 5,8, and 15.
essay: an appreciation of Skunk Cabbage (Symplocarpus foetidus) (Craig Holdrege/The Nature Institute) I love looking for them in April around here in northern New England. Holdrege mentions both the arresting colour(s) and shape(s) of the plants, including that “[t]he deep color is warm, the sculpted form alive.”
